In the hours after a woman was discovered dead inside her southwest Chatham County apartment Halloween night, Savannah-Chatham police called the incident suspicious.

Officers were called to a residence in the Bradley Pointe Apartment Complex, in the 1300 block of Bradley Boulevard, about 6 p.m. Wednesday, said Gena Bilbo, police spokeswoman.

There they discovered the woman and quickly set up a crime scene and began their investigation.

Little information was available at press time Wednesday night.

“It’s very early in the investigation,” Bilbo said. “We’re hoping to make some headway on it and know more later on.”

Bilbo credited the residents of the apartment complex — located just off of Ogeechee Road near the Chatham-Bryan county border — for their cooperation with investigating officers even as trick-or-treaters visited other buildings in the neighborhood.

“The neighbors have been very receptive (to police),” Bilbo said. “It’s a very friendly neighborhood.”
